    gif animation frame number limit?

    evan.fotis Community Member

      Hello,

      I have created a 35 second (25fps) line animation within AE.

      Since AE does not export gifs anymore, I exported as QT movie & opened the QT in PS and saved for web as Gif animation.

      In the save for web dialogue it said "frames 500 of 500" and when it exported the animated Gif it had truncated the length of the animation (as the total length is 875 frames).

      Within PS the animation appears till the end.

      I played around with frame rates etc, brought it down to 15fps but it would just extend the duration and not be able to get all of the movie exported.

      Btw the 500 frames animation created an 85kb gif

      I tried using AME to encode to Gif animation, but the filesize was huge at 20MB, which negated the point foe Gif.

       

      So is there a 500 frame limitation to exporting gif animations from within Photoshop?

      Thanks
